A stick is cut into 8 equal pieces. If each piece were 10cm shorter,we could have cut the original stick into 12 equal pieces. How long is the stick?

Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

[tex]Pitches = 7[/tex]

[tex]P(Hit) = 80\%[/tex]

[tex]Win = \$60[/tex]

[tex]Lost = \$10[/tex]

Fast Ball Challenge

[tex]Pitches = 3[/tex]

[tex]P(Hit) = 70\%[/tex]

[tex]Win = \$60[/tex]

[tex]Lost = \$10[/tex]

Required

Which should he choose?

To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.

Considering the slow ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches

[tex]P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 7[/tex] --- pitches

[tex]x = 7[/tex] --- all hits

[tex]p = 80\% = 0.80[/tex] --- probability of hit

So, we have:

[tex]P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}[/tex]

[tex]P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}[/tex]

[tex]P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0[/tex]

Using a calculator:

[tex]P(7) =0.2097152[/tex] --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

[tex]P(Win) =0.2097152[/tex]

The probability that he lose is:

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)[/tex] ---- Complement rule

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose) = 0.7902848[/tex]

The expected value is then calculated as:

[tex]Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]Expected = \$20.48576[/tex]

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

[tex]P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 3[/tex] --- pitches

[tex]x = 3[/tex] --- all hits

[tex]p = 70\% = 0.70[/tex] --- probability of hit

So, we have:

[tex]P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}[/tex]

[tex]P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0[/tex]

Using a calculator:

[tex]P(3) =0.343[/tex] --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

[tex]P(Win) =0.343[/tex]

The probability that he lose is:

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)[/tex] ---- Complement rule

[tex]P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343[/tex]

[tex]P(Lose) = 0.657[/tex]

The expected value is then calculated as:

[tex]Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]Expected = \$27.15[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Expected = \$20.48576[/tex] -- Slow ball

[tex]Expected = \$27.15[/tex] --- Fast ball

The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.

Answer:

the x axis contains the arithmetic sequence

Answer:

$4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of drink be x

price of tub y

You have 4x+2y=32.5 (1) and

x = y -3.5                 (2)

Plug for x from (2) into (1):

4(y-3.5) + 2y = 32.5

4y -14 +2y = 32.5

6y = 14+32.5

y = (46.5)/6 = $7.75 the price of tub

x= y-3.5 = 7.75 - 3.5 = $4.25

Option D is correct, the  pair (4,6,7) is not a Pythagorean triple

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

A Pythagorean triple is a set of three positive integers a, b, and c that satisfy this theorem (a² + b² = c²).

Checking each of the given options, we have:

A. (5, 12, 13):

5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13². This is a Pythagorean triple.

B. (6, 8, 10):

6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10². This is also a Pythagorean triple.

C. (9, 12, 15):

9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225 = 15². This is a Pythagorean triple.

D. (4, 6, 7):

4² + 6² = 16 + 36 = 52 ≠ 7². This is not a Pythagorean triple.

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 10 and 2(x + 10) are vertical angles and congruent , so

3x - 30 = 2(x + 10)

3x - 30 = 2x + 20 (  subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 30 = 20 ( add 30 to both sides )

x = 50

Answer:

(x - 8)² + (y - 15)² = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you want the equation.

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Here (h, k ) = (8, 15 ) and r = 3 , then

(x - 8)² + (y - 15)² = 9
